Fit to Burst: Christian Parenting Book by Rachel Jankovic with Humor, Faith, and Practical Advice, Motherhood Book in Everyday Chaos

Fit to Burst is a book of parenting "field notes" written by a mom in the thick of it all. It is chock-full of humorous examples and fresh advice covering issues familiar to moms, such as guilt cycles, temptations to be ungrateful or bitter, enjoying your kids, and learning how to honor Jesus by giving even in the mundane stuff. But this book also addresses less familiar topics, including the impact moms have on the relationships between dads and kids, the importance of knowing when to laugh at kid-sized sin, and more. A thoughtful follow-up to Loving the Little Years, Rachel's first book, Fit to Burst will help us to be moms who parent with the story in mind rather than the snapshot, who know how to give much and to require much from their children in the everyday mayhem, and who understand the importance of biscuits. Fit to Burst is a refreshing and heartfelt Christian book for moms who understand the daily challenges and joys of raising children. This motherhood book is filled with practical wisdom, humorous examples, and gospel-centered encouragement for mothers in the thick of everyday family life. In this Christian mom book, Rachel addresses familiar struggles that many moms experience, cycles of guilt, temptations toward bitterness, the difficulty of staying grateful, and the importance of truly enjoying your kids. She reminds readers that even the most ordinary tasks and chaotic moments can be opportunities to honor Jesus by giving of ourselves in love. But this parenting book for moms goes beyond the expected. Rachel tackles less common topics, such as how moms can influence the relationship between dads and kids, when it’s wise to laugh at “kid-sized sin,” and how to keep a long-term perspective in the midst of the daily mayhem. Our parenting book, encourages moms to parent with the bigger story in mind rather than focusing only on snapshots of the moment, and never to underestimate the importance of biscuits.
